      Question

      Two cars, ‘X’ and ‘Y’, started from towns ‘M’

      and ‘N’ towards each other at the same time. When they met after 6 hours, car ‘Y’ had travelled 90 km more than car ‘X’. Find the distance travelled by car ‘X’ in 4 hours if the distance between both towns is 510 km.
      A 130 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 135 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 140 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 150 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 160 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let distance travelled by car ‘X’ at the time of meet = ‘x’ km
      So, distance travelled by car ‘Y’ at the time of meet = ‘x + 90’ km
      According to question:
      x + x + 90 = 510
      Or, 2x = 420
      Or, x = 210
      Distance travelled by car ‘X’ in 6 hours = 210 km
      Speed of car ‘X’ = 210 / 6 = 35 km/h
      Distance travelled by car ‘X’ in 4 hours = 35 × 4 = 140 km
